The Xbox One X had a reasonable launch period since its debut, the 4K powerhouse making a name for itself despite a lack of 1st party content for the console. But with a massive launch under its belt and a ton of Game of the Year contenders pushing it forward, there’s no doubt the Nintendo Switch has left Microsoft with a lot of questions it needs to answer quickly if it’s going to remain relevant in 2018.
The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.
NE: "We've put together a list of 10 things we'd love to see on the 'Switch 2'".
I wish Nintendo would release a real console like it use to do before it went down gimmick road and never found its way back. I remember when Nintendo lead the way in performance and fun. I feel like the game cube was its last true powerhouse console that directly competed with Sony and Xbox. Miss those days.
I hear you but to be frank, they can’t compete on that level. They’re see as the kiddy console for better or worse. And that means they have to cost it out significantly cheaper than the competition and that leads to a console that isn’t as powerful.
Their gimmicks work for them. And let’s not forget, one man’s gimmick is another man’s innovation.
Xbox has proven that you can’t out PlayStation Sony, so I’m actually happy Nintendo forged their own path after Sony came along and took so much of their market share and mind share. Although right now they seem really desperate to delay the switch 2 long enough that the current switch can have a chance of beating PS2’s lifetime sales.
How does Xbox prove that you can't out Playstation Sony? That literally makes no sense. The Switch 2 is rumored for a 2025 release. And where are the articles that support that Nintendo are really desperate to delay the Switch 2? And yes Nintendo is gimmicky but the gimmicks pay off the Switch can go both handheld and be docked to a tv to play the game. Not all of Nintendo's gimmicks pay off.
At this point, I'd be happy if it's just a gaming console which dedicated focus is on just being a gaming console, so physical media, no accounts needed, no always online needed, no 'services', etc etc.
This industry really needs a reset and go back to basics, which is simply about games.
I just want message a friend, party chat with a friend, and drop the damn code to add a friend.
Catan: Console Edition set to receive physical release on Nintendo Switch and pre-orders are open now.

I’d be more concerned about Xbox One as a whole than the iterative console
“With the Xbox One X, there’s an opportunity to somewhat wipe the slate clean”
No it doesn’t. Microsoft’s issues are still evidently present and this premium console further highlights this. Rather than releasing new blockbuster first party titles, the thing people will remember the most notable thing that Microsoft did was release a mid gen refresh. For perspective, New 3DS & PS4 Pro weren’t the biggest headliner for their companies when they first released in 2014/2015 & 2016 respectively.
“With power at its side, the One X can claim the strongest console on the market moniker, and there’s some pulling power on store shelves so far based on early results.”
According to VGC, as soon as December began Xbox One sales fell behind Switch again. Even with the X on the market the console is still in 3rd place durin the holiday season.
“Sea of Thieves, meanwhile, could be the biggest title to aid the cause, standing out from the crowd with its color and humor. It’s Rare hopefully back at their best, and that’s the kind of studio Microsoft needs to back in much the same way Nintendo supports the likes of Retro Studios and the Pokemon Company.”
Even if SoT turns out great, I doubt it’ll be on par with the developers golden age performance during the SNES & N64.
Also Nintendo doesn’t own the Pokémon Company. Even if you meant Game Freak, Nintendo doesn’t own that developer either.
“Thankfully there’s also been some moves of late in the indie market, i.e. Cuphead, that reflect back on a time when the Xbox Live store was the place for big indie titles and creative new IP’s.”
The days where Microsoft’s console was the biggest bastion of indies are long gone.
The Xbox one X hype died down so quickly LMAO What happened to the idea of everybody flocking to the most powerful console in the market?? I'm more than positive for December NPD Xbox is going to be dead last again HAHAHA Switch undercut the Xbox brand and replaced it as a competitor to the ps4.
Okay, when was this a concern, and who's the divisive console warrior trying to make it into one?
Can we not just be happy for all three doing good numbers going forward?
